DescriptionECMWF has developed ecCodes: an application program interface developed for decoding and encoding messages in GRIB. ecCodes relies on a useful set of command line tools to provide quick access to the messages. Learning objectivesBy the end of the course, participants will be familiar with a set of command line tools which provide an easy way to access and modify information contained in a GRIB and BUFR messages. More specifically: Understanding the use of ecCodes and obtaining information about its installation Inspecting the content of GRIB files Printing data values from GRIB messages Comparing the content of GRIB messages Copying GRIB messages Making simple modifications to the GRIB header information
